Course Content
This course will provide an introduction to bioinformatics. The computational techniques for mining the large amount of information produced by biological experiments such as genome sequencing, microarray technology, and other high-throughput experimental methods will be introduced. The main emphasis of the course is to provide an overview of the area and describe solutions to fundamental problems of bioinformatics such as DNA and protein sequence alignment, protein structural alignment, protein/RNA structure prediction, phylogenetic tree construction, microarray data analysis, and analysis of gene/protein networks.
